President Cup 2017 Group Stage Wrap Up

This was an exceedingly tight group. It produced some exciting games, who can forget Mitra Kukar coming back from 3-0 down against the hosts, as well as the largest crowds with an average of 28,000 watching each match day. PSS can consider themselves unlucky to go out but they fought bravely and now have the Piala Digantara to look forward to.

Disappointing for the hosts to finish bottom of their group as they begin life after Indra Sjafri. Pusamania under Ricky Nelson scored one goal in 270 minutes but that was enough to secure a spot in the semi finals.

The draw for the quarter finals will be held tomorrow. Ties will be held 25/26 February in Solo. The following teams will be in the draw;
Mitra Kukar, Arema, Persib, Pusamania, Semen Padang, Madura United, Bhayangkara, Sriwijaya
